Is Walking In The Air #IM-23 worth grading?

Entertainment · 2023 Topps Chrome Disney 100 Iconic Moments · full price guide →

Grading rarely pays for this card

Grade 9.5 copies of Walking In The Air #IM-23 sell for $6.00, only $0.39 above the $5.61 raw price — less than an economy-tier grading fee. A PSA 9 ($5.61) sells for less than raw, so anything short of a 10 loses money. Keep it raw unless you are grading for the slab itself.

Raw (NM): $5.61
Grade 9.5: $6.00
